We just use our file server. What's wrong with having a folder? It's easy, it's designed for the task, it's what everyone's already familiar with, and it doesn't require any additional software (or maintenance or configuration or updates). We already have to create a folder for the user's profile, and for the user's home directory, setting up a "dropbox" as part of that script is almost trivial. Granted, we've only got one site -- if you're looking to send files across a WAN link, this might not work as well. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
